I ordered the 4-cheese pasta that was listed as a gluten free option. The description listed 4 cheeses plus marinara. I asked for the marinara on the side because I don't like cheese sauce and marinara mixed together. My waiter didn't speak English very well, he brought me a bowl of dry gluten free pasta with chicken on it, and a bowl of marinara. I asked him where the cheese was and he brought me a small plate with a dollop of ricotta cheese on it. I told him it was supposed to be 4 cheese pasta, I expected there to be some kind of yellow cheese sauce in it, and he proceeded to bring me 2 more small plates with shredded cheese. I really didn't know what to do next, I was so confused. I told him I expected the dish to look like macaroni and cheese with yellow cheese sauce. He went to get the manager, who thankfully spoke English, and he had told the manager I wanted to know why my noodles were yellow. I explained to the manager that I ordered the gluten free 4 cheese pasta dish and I was expecting something more like macaroni and cheese. He said no worries, I can whip you up a cheese sauce if you like. He came out soon after with a cheese sauce for my noodles which tasted pretty good despite the fact that their gluten free noodles aren't all that great to begin with. Then I ended up getting sick when we got back to the hotel. We don't go to pricy places like this often, it was supposed to be a special treat for my daughter's birthday. Definitely won't be back.
